Who we are
We come from countries around the world to form a community of humans focused on the responsible development of AI. At MIT and IBM Research, we share a “mind and hand” commitment to the scientific method grounded in the practical pursuit of solving the world’s biggest problems.

Leadership
The MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab is lead by MIT chair and School of Engineering Dean Anantha Chandrakasan, MIT co-chair and MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing Dean Dan Huttenlocher, and Dario Gil, IBM chair, IBM Senior Vice President, and Director of Research. David Cox of IBM Research and Aude Oliva of MIT co-direct the Lab. Each of our projects is jointly proposed and executed by IBM researchers and MIT faculty members. Annual project proposals are overseen by the MIT-IBM steering committee: co-chairs David Cox and Aude Oliva, head of AI+D in the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing Antonio Torralba, Esther and Harold E. Edgerton Associate Professor at MIT Elsa A. Olivetti, Director of IBM Research Cambridge Lisa Amini, and Vice President of IBM Research Exploratory Science Jeff Welser.
Aude Oliva is the MIT director of the MIT–IBM Watson AI Lab, director of strategic industry engagement in the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, and a senior research scientist at MIT CSAIL, working on natural and artificial intelligence .
David Cox is the IBM director the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab. Formerly a Harvard professor, he is a computational neuroscientist prioritizing the Lab’s work in neuro-symbolic AI and other key areas while leading the Lab’s IBM team in Cambridge, MA.
Anantha Chandrakasan is the dean of the MIT School of Engineering, the Vannevar Bush Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and the MIT chair of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab. His research focuses on making electronic circuits more energy efficient.
Daniel Huttenlocher is the dean of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, Henry Ellis Warren (1894) Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and MIT co-chair of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab. He is recognized for his work in computer vision, social media, and understanding AI.
